Beschreibung

People who are "maladaptive" are making up scenarios in their minds: they are mostly daydreaming about their life in a pathological way. So "maladaptive" is a story, where I am losing myself in a made up dream world after I refused accepting reality until it escalates in the end. This book is composed of poems about the highs and lows in my life. The introduction encourages the reader to believe in their dreams until it turns into a bipolar nightmare full of self-doubts and pride while truths about social media and toxic friendships are uncovered. In the end I show you how it feels like to fall in love with an unavailable person and I will find myself distancing romantically from reality again. It may contain sensitive topics like bullying, suicide, mental illness, violence, toxic friendships, eating disorders and unrequited love.

introduction

I like what I do

even though I am not good at it

you should be jealous instead

because I found a way out of my sadness

I rather live in my dreams

and create their colors on my own

than drowning in that salty reality

Shout out to the people

who get excited about the little things

who appreciate the little sunrays in the morning

and admire the same sunrise every evening

like a true passionate lover

who fell in love with the sun

shoutout to the people

who try their best not to care

about other people’s thoughts

shoutout to the people

who are the biggest dreamers

who believe in themselves too

who lose themselves

in the deeper meaning of life

shoutout to the people

who are listening to their favorite songs

over and over again

without getting tired of them

shoutout to the people

who are not afraid of facing reality

who dare to fight on their own

shoutout to the people

who can enjoy their life sober

who are glad of their advantages

than taking advantage of you

I know you are stronger than you think

and I am proud of how far you have come

some people cannot see your starlight

when they are living their life on daylight

your time will come

when the sun is going down

listen,

you don’t need a formula for everything

some things are incomparable

some things are unpredictable

you need to accept it

as how you accept the incomparable beauty

of two different flowers

and when you realize that

you will be satisfied one day

if you are reading this right now

I promise you

the sun will rise again

the wildest storms will find an end

and the prettiest flowers will bloom

after the strongest rain

sometimes you are running too fast

until you stumble and fall on the ground

you will always stand up in the end

no matter how much time you need

to stand up again

no matter how much time you need

to heal your scars on your knees

believe me

you will run faster than ever

faster than everyone else

you noticed

I could change everything if I wanted

but you treated me like a psycho

just because I could not see my limits

I dreamt so much bigger and brighter

than everyone else

just to distract myself from my pain

alone I was going forward

I never gave up to live my dream one day

I worked hard to make it

I prayed for the things I needed

my head is in the universe

your framed expectations

won’t bring me down to earth

I am higher than the sun

I can read these jealous people

their green faces are full of envy

they were just too proud to grow

I have never settled for less

I knew they will look up at me one day

like they look up at the moon

because I believed in myself like in a religion

let me tell you a little story

writing makes me feel

like taking out the trash of my messy mind

after my heart cried out

and left her tears on the paper

that cleaned my mind

writing makes me putting balm on my wounds

bad memories do not hurt me anymore

and it does not disturb my tranquility

bipolar disorder

my mum told me

life can be so unfair sometimes

but you need to learn

how to push these haters away

stand up for yourself

learn how to fight

like this world is a battlefield

or you will end up hurt, alone and lost

many people are too harsh to give you compassion

the majority of them are liars

they feel stronger

whenever they see you falling

instead of offering help

when they notice that you are one of the weaker ones

they will defeated you easily

being a kind human with a big heart

is a forgotten strength today

so don’t lose yourself in the fight

and don’t let them take advantage of you

one day they will be surprised

when they see you growing

start loving yourself

life is too short to be dependent on someone

who treats you like a slave

don’t forget that work will be a big part of your life

so find an activity that really belongs to you

fall in love with it

and life will be so much easier for you

but don’t forget that money rules the world

my mum told me

no matter how bad everything seems

one day the rain disappears

and you will find a place under the sun

all you need is patience

and one day you will shine as bright as the sun

my mum told me

this world is making us suffer

from bipolar disorder

you need to hold your emotions and anger in

until you feel too much

you need to work hard

until you forget yourself

one day you fall like the great depression

everyone knows the truth

but it’s easier to believe their lies

poker

so we are going through this game

called “life”

the winner is the one

who is capable to keep his feelings inside

but one day he gets addicted and insane

of playing games all day

we are all craving to rise

higher and higher

to earn and possess more and more

money and material

because we need to fill our empty space

we stopped caring about our limits

so we pretend being unstoppable and immortal

we forget that there will be days

when we will fall

after not caring about our future at all

the pain of hitting the ground made me so numb

silence fills my head

I am so tired of these highs and lows

how can I finally escape that cursed circle

how can I pause the time for a moment

before I lose my mind completely

my emotions are to rebellious

to stay behind their borders

I would like to forget all my memories

no matter how much it cost

today I am watching myself

building higher skyscrapers

I am building little homes for my dreams

with my own hands

to demolish them tomorrow

until all my dreams will seem pointless

I will go through these streets full of ruins
